How is Empower different from other analytics products?
- It has a lower total cost of ownership.
- It has reports your organization wants and will use. Our designs are driven by hospital subject matter experts.

OneLink™
OneLink is Acmeware’s data integration solution, built for hospital EHR systems. Designed for healthcare organizations that need to send formatted data securely to third-party applications, automatically and efficiently, without the overhead of traditional interface engines. For exclusive use by our vendor partners, OneLink’s cloud-forward design uses Microsoft's Azure Service Bus to distribute data from our interface adapter to other vendor interfaces for seamless data integration into their systems.
Because OneLink provides a one-way, outbound-only interface, it’s fast and easy to set up and configure – simpler than traditional interface engines. This translates into simpler operation and lower cost for hospitals. OneLink is also data source agnostic: our interface adapter can connect to many relational database systems, or non-relational sources like delimited text files, and more.
OneLink Advantages
Fast: typical data latency from source to destination is 2 minutes or less. |
|
Lightweight: our staff can have OneLink up and running in a single day. |
|
Secure: OneLink uses the latest security APIs for Azure communications, |
|
Flexible: our custom interface adapters work with all MEDITECH versions and a large variety of data sources. | |
Autonomous: OneLink operates 24/7/365, recovers automatically from hardware reboots and network outages, |
Easy to monitor
OneLink's Vendor Dashboard makes monitoring the system a snap. It includes information on:
- Active jobs and API posts
- Data Repository status and server heartbeat
- Client/server response rates
- Onoing daily network statistics
How does it work?
- Selected data from the source electronic health record are retrieved by our custom data adapter and sent to OneLink's Azure Service bus.
- OneLink transforms data into JSON files (or other vendor-specified format) and are queued for delivery.
- Formatted files are delivered directly to the vendor destination system.
